Rosie O’Donnell is in full support of Britney Spears showing her True Colors.
In a video blog on her Website, O’Donnell waxed enthusiastic about the possibility that the tarnished pop princess might be making a guest appearance alongside Cyndi Lauper later this month.
“Brit, if you’re watching, honey, you and me—we’re gonna share, like, a backstage moment, ’cause I love you, kid!” said O’Donnell, who has been playing the drums for some of Lauper’s performances.
Rumor has it that Spears will join the True Colors tour for the Los Angeles stopover at the Greek Theater on Saturday. Her choreographer told People last week that the singer had been auditioning male backup dancers in anticipation of the performance.
However, as O’Donnell tells it, Lauper would be among those surprised by a surprise Spears appearance.
“Cyndi says it’s not happening and it’s Cyndi’s tour, so she would know,” O’Donnell said.
But the former View cohost isn’t giving up hope just yet.
“If it is happening, I’m thrilled, because I enjoy Britney,” she said.
Tour organizers had no comment on the situation.
Last month, Spears performed several (poorly kept) secret shows at venues in Southern California and Las Vegas marking her first live appearances in almost three years.
The mother-of-two has reportedly been hard at work on a comeback album, though no release date has been revealed.
In the meantime, Spears recently unveiled a new cryptic message on her Website, reading: “Mother to Grandmother, and my my, you’re grand.”
No word on what the pop star meant by the message, or if it was intended for her own mother, Lynne Spears, with whom she has reportedly had strained relations of late.
Whether or not Spears makes an appearance, there will be plenty to take in at Saturday’s True Colors concert.
Aside from Lauper, other acts scheduled to take the stage include Erasure, Debbie Harry, the Dresden Dolls and the MisShapes. Margeret Cho will serve as emcee and O’Donnell is expected to perform a standup act.
